As Hedeya is one of the first female Egyptians to carry the flag, all the Egyptians are proud, especially female Egyptians, as a role model in Egypt.

The leadership of the delegation saw an opportunity to send many special messages by choosing the duo, the most important of which is to motivate all players to perform and strive for achievement, and thus receive the appropriate prize, Carrying the flag at the Olympic Games is a great responsibility, and it was necessary for us to confirm that our delegation includes champions that have proven experience in succeeding at the Olympics

5 Inventions that were done by Women!

What's Happening? Top inventions that were made by women changed the world, let's praise them! 1. Medical syringe to be honest, I never knew that who did the syringe and always had no information about women doing any inventions I don't know why but this invention was done by Letitia Geer and was done in 1899, as they did the syringe that required two hands to do the injections correctly without resulting any harm, so basically, she invented the syringe that required only one hand that all medical practices use it now! "Her syringe design includes a cylinder, piston rod, a handle, and nozzle. The piston rod had a U-shaped handle for easier grip.

Changes you need if you want to love yourself more.

What's Happening? Just Love Yourself The more I grow the more my mindset changes about different situations I had when I was younger, the way I feel about life these days makes me regret wishing that I want to grow up and see the world as a really dark place, I'm saying here that there is a better way to live instead of feeling depressed about yourself. I know it's not easy to progress but slow step by step it will get better, these habits I tried before and worked like magic, yes it was tiring because of the daily routine process, I get lazy and a lot of these trials were failing so it's okay to fail. - Wake up early Yes i know, it tiring and the day will end up fast and bla bla ba, but its science it was proven that your mind will do better in the early mornings, will have energy better, people even tried it as a challenge on youtube to see if its actually a better chance for them and I'm not saying do it daily, I'm saying to try it once weekly and believe me...
